Answer:

= 9.28 g CO₂

Explanation:

First write a balanced equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂

Convert the information to moles

7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄

13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂

Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2

Actual ratio is  0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1

If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂

So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation

Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂

0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂

Then convert to grams

0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂

round to 3 sig figs

= 9.28 g CO₂

When 5.00 g of Al2S3 and 2.50 g of H2O are reacted according to the following reaction: Al2S3(s) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 Al(OH)3(s) + 3 H
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Y=58.15\%

Explanation:

Hello,

For the given chemical reaction:

Al_2S_3(s) + 6 H_2O(l) \rightarrow 2 Al(OH)_3(s) + 3 H_2S(g)

We first must identify the limiting reactant by computing the reacting moles of Al2S3:

n_{Al_2S_3}=5.00gAl_2S_3*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{150.158 gAl_2S_3} =0.0333molAl_2S_3

Next, we compute the moles of Al2S3 that are consumed by 2.50 of H2O via the 1:6 mole ratio between them:

n_{Al_2S_3}^{consumed}=2.50gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{6molH_2O}=0.0231mol  Al_2S_3

Thus, we notice that there are more available Al2S3 than consumed, for that reason it is in excess and water is the limiting, therefore, we can compute the theoretical yield of Al(OH)3 via the 2:1 molar ratio between it and Al2S3 with the limiting amount:

m_{Al(OH)_3}=0.0231molAl_2S_3*\frac{2molAl(OH)_3}{1molAl_2S_3}*\frac{78gAl(OH)_3}{1molAl(OH)_3} =3.61gAl(OH)_3

Finally, we compute the percent yield with the obtained 2.10 g:

Y=\frac{2.10g}{3.61g} *100\%\\\\Y=58.15\%

Best regards.

Create the Lewis structure of CF4. NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check–don't work ahead to solve
Naya [18.7K]

To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.

F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.

As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.

The ratio of the specific heat of aluminum to the specific heat of iron is 2:1. How much energy must be transferred to the alumi
erastova [34]

Given what we know about ratios, we can confirm that in comparison to the iron pan, the aluminum pan will receive twice as much heat.

<h3>Why would the aluminum pan receive double the heat?</h3>
  • This has to do with the ratio being presented.
  • A ratio of 2:1 means that for every unit of heat to the iron, the aluminum receives 2.
  • In other words, the aluminum pan receives twice as much heat when compared to the iron pan.

Therefore, we can confirm that because the ratio of heat to the aluminum in comparison to the iron pan is 2:1, this means that for every 1 unit of heat to the iron pan, the aluminum pan will receive 2. This results in double the total heat received by the aluminum pan.
